During the summer months, I had different jobs going on. I was a live in baby sitter for different families while the parents worked during the day. I worked in a cannery, on the night shift. In 1959 I went to visit my Aunt and Uncle who owned Silverton Nursing home and got a job as a nurse's aide there, and met my future husband, Leonard Sheffield. We got married July 3, 1960. Since it was a holiday weekend, we could not find any vacancies on the coast, so we went clear back to Dallas to spend the night in a motel, but that wasn't all that happened. We were on our way to Idaho Camp Meeting. We took Leonard's mom and sister with us. we were stopped and given a warning ticket for embracing another. He had his arm around my shoulder while driving. Our daughter, Rebecca "Becky" was born on May 1st, 1961. She passed away on March 8th, 2015.
